We Weren’t Together When You Joined
Though My Heart Is Still Full With Pride
We Weren’t Together When You Were Deployed
Though I Know It Would Have Been A Rough Ride
We Weren’t Together When You Got Home From War
Though What A Feeling It Must Have Been
I Was Not There With My Love For You To Endure
But I Am Here Now And Will Be Til The End
I Will Stand By You Like I Am Suppossed To
And Follow You To Where You Must Go
I Would Do This Because I Am In Love With You
But That You Already Know
But What You Do Not Know My Dear
Is That Each Night I Watch You Sleep
For I Lie There Trembling With Fear
That They Will Call You In To Help And Hopefully Defeat
I Do Not Say I Love You Out Of Habit
But Only Because I Know That Day Might Come
When They Say You Have To Return To The Havoc
And That You Have To Leave Your Home
For If That Day Should Come
I Will Hold My Head Up High
For Tears I Hope You See None
Because The Last Thing I Want You To See Is Me Cry
You Are A United States Marine
And The Best Man That I Know
You Will Always Have All Of Me
No Matter Where You Must Go
So Each Day That We Are Together
I Treat It Like It Is Our Last
I Want To Make You Happy Forever
And Not Argue Over Things In The Past
For You Have Risked You Life For This Country
Even Those You Do Not Know
And In Return, I Have Given You All Of Me
I Try To Be The Best For You
There Are Too Little Words In The Webster’s Dictionary
So All Of My Love You Will Not Know
But Know That Is Soars Higher Than The Yellow Canaries
And Farther Than Any Black Hole
For I Am The Girlfriend Of A United States Marine
Yet, Many Could Never Know
The Pain I Still Feel Though You Are Here With Me
Because I Know That Day Might Come When You Gave To Go
But I Did Choose This Path
And I Would Do It Again
I Will Stand By You And Take All The Wrath
I Will Stand By You Til The End
